How do I save contacts to Google instead of iCloud on iPhone?

The "default account" setting in Settings > Contacts > Default Account determines where new contacts you create on your iPhone are saved. If iCloud is set as the default, all newly created contacts go to iCloud. If you switch it to Outlook, new contacts go to your Outlook account instead.

However, changing the default account does not move or sync existing contacts from one account to another. For example:

• If you set iCloud as default and save 50 contacts, those are only on iCloud.
• If you later switch the default to Outlook and save 10 more contacts, those 10 are only on Outlook.
• The 50 iCloud contacts and 10 Outlook contacts remain separate, even though they can all appear together in the Contacts app if both accounts are enabled.

What is your default Contacts account?

Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in the SIM. They are synced to an email account that you have Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo, or any Other

If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organization's system administrator.

When you have activated a 2-step verification/Authenticator for your Microsoft Exchange/Outlook, Yahoo, Google Mail, or AOL account, it introduces an additional layer of security, preventing the use of your regular login password that you use when accessing your account through web browser. In such cases, you must generate a unique and device-specific application password for use on iOS devices.

To accomplish this, navigate to the provided link, which facilitates the creation of an iOS app-specific password.
